#29 - Sukhy Hogwood - Safety by Design and the intertwined nature of Health, Safety, Environment, and Wellbeing and workplace efficiency

In this week’s episode, Mousa Yassin has a fascinating conversation with Sukhy Hogwood, fhrmer Head of HSEW Europe - People & Places Solutions at Jacobs and recently appointed SHEQ Director at Network Rail. Sukhy recounts her unexpected journey into the health and safety sector, motivated by a tragic accident early on. Over the past 20 years, she has dramatically broadened safety practices to include mental wellbeing, sustainability, and environmental considerations; and highlights two innovative programs she spearheaded at Jacobs: 'Five in Design,' which integrates safety into design processes, and a comprehensive mental health and wellbeing initiative. The conversation delves into the evolving safety landscape, the impact of leadership engagement on safety culture, and the critical role of happiness and mental wellbeing in the workplace. Sukhy’s passion and commitment to creating safer, happier work environments shine throughout the discussion, making this episode a valuable listen for anyone interested in holistic safety and wellbeing strategies that translate into workplace efficiency and is good for the bottom line.Follow Sukhy's journey on Linkedin.Send us a message!
